On principle I feel I should be against AC Odyssey because of how drastically it's been changed while keeping the same name (I don't think you even play an assassin? And the mythos feels wholly disconnected from the roots), but I feel like...maybe I'll actually pick it up.

@animus_: Oh, from the looks of it I think it should be fun, and I'm glad the game is being made as it is and that we're getting it. Just...the name feels outta place. I feel they could've run a different name and probably have the game do just as well with marketing not even too different from what we're getting.

Someone told me though that the plan was to go in this direction for a while now. Honestly I'm not sure, since I haven't kept much in touch since Ezio, except to play with the Frye twins (mostly because Evie), and I still haven't finished an AC game since the first one.

Besides that, I've always been curious about how the CV RPG games work. In the 6 years I've been on CV, I've never got my feet wet in these forums. Besides my Pathfinder thread, this is my only post in these forums ever. Everytime I think I'll check this place out, I go to read the CVnU stuff, and I get overwhelmed with how epic it is. Maybe I'll spend some more time in these forums though, since I've had an RP itch that I haven't been able to scratch lately. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

@tparks: A bit far from our usual fare, but it is still considered a form of RPG - taking place on CV - so this would be the proper place for it. I will be, at the very least, giving it a read-through. It's not the first I've heard of Pathfinder, though I'm not overly familiar.

And there's no need to be nervous. There are several information guides pinned at the forum, but for a more personal touch, people are available for questioning.

I understand finding neat possibly-coincidences, or reading into things because you like to entertain various theories and levels of analysis; but when you read into literally everything and swear your word is gospel on junk you know basically nothing about, it's just pretentious and dumb, and maybe that's why people don't wanna talk to you much.

Why do you feel it's out of place, and what direction is that? Greek history?

Of course, that [latter] part is just based on one person's theory and I'm not even sure exactly on what grounds the theory stands. That is, a friend mentioned he watched a video of some guy speculating on "most likelies," so...not sure how much credence to give that, but I could see how it possibly could've been.
